i used daemon to run the 2 .iso files and installed sim city 4 deluxe and when i go to play the game all i get is the bridge picure..task manager says its running but i cant accualy play it..any help please!

Will the game run if you use the original game CD's?

.iso files dont hold the necessary Copy Protection Data the Guard Module Relys on to run the game. Even as a mounted image the game wont run. Create the image's from the originals as MDS/MDF, CCD, or BWT.(using the appropriate software) Sim City 4 uses Safedisc 2.9 which is the first of the nasty hardware dependant protections released.

I don't know what you guys are doing, but I read the Sim City Deluxe Disc with clony xxl, went to alcoholer read what clony xxl said, ran alcohol 120% with alcoholer's settings, dumped it to my hard drive and used daemons tools to mount the image with emulation set to safedisc. This worked perfect. I also used alcohol 120% to burn the image which also worked perfectly.
